Buffalo Bill's Wild West show when It
appeared in Washington."
'This recollection of General Riley's,"
said Major Burke to The Journal, "re
minded me that without being elseied, I
have occupied the Presidential chair.
You. see, I was at the White House, the
day that ex-Senatcr Squires was i ap
pointed Governor of the then WaMngtoh
jSerrftory. Both of us were ushoretl Into
President. Arthur's anctutn 'at the same
time and after the usual salutations, the
President remarked., to me, "Have you
ever had ambitio.ia to occupy the Presi
dential chair?" ,
I repiied that the Presidential bee iiad
been my ambition from childhood, as 1
was an orphan boy an. raised my grand
mother who was ever patting me on the
head and saying, "He'll be President of
the tJnited Swtes yet." I wai naturally
tvr prised. President Arthur then re
quested ma to sit down In his chac terri-,
porarily while he conversed with Senator
Squires. Thus I sat n the chair which
is 10 eagerly contested for. So you so i
fu' filled my grandmoih'jr'is wishes and
hopes."
This belna; well received the Major
proceeded as follows:
"This what I will tell you happened In
1WS In Vlrgnla City. Nevada. At that
time that city was terrorised by stage
robbers, highwaymen and all kinds- of
bad men; but there were some- pretty
good men then also, who organued them
selves into a vigilantes' committee. Just
at this time a youvir man by the name of
Arthur Perkins, c ld-Wooded! assassin
ated a, Cornish miner. He was locTted up1,
the vigilantes met tin I decided that he
must swing. They came' to hlin cul
told him, 'Arthur, we're scrry but we
want you to come along. Well this
young man replied, 'All right,. hoys, I'm
game.' They then took him to a nearby
tree, one whose limbs overhangs a preci
pice, placed a rope around his-neck, and
would you believe It, that man' Perkins
cried out, 'Hold the rope tight boys,' and
at the same time gave a Jump over the -
precipice, the rope breaking his neck In
stantaneously. Now, this Is what I call
nerve, It beats Tracy all through."

A San Francisco matron who recently
arrived here says that the Portland
